i think ive already asked before on the old board..(no replies tho)
apart from bobby kalphats version "raw roots" / "roots raw", big youths "keep your dread" are there any more versions of this exact riddim (i.e. not jr byles fever etc) .. is there a dub to this tune anywhere? thanks.

Dub In Blood
Dub In Blood Volume 2
The Best Dub Album In The World
Star Wars Dub
The War Is On Dub Style
Cold Crusher
Lee Perry And King Tubby In Dub Confrontation (no Perry or Tubby but this is a nice collection of early Phil Pratt dubs)

Not a dub version, but there's another vocal version of this cut.
I don't have the name of the artist nor the tittle of the song but parts of the lyrics are:
"Don't give away your rights my friend (...)'Cause now is Rasta's Time(...)Rasta is watching you."

thats `Al Campbell - Rasta Time` ....mines on a blank, rkr quotes it as produced by Harold Butler and the matrix with HB seems to substantiate it was his release, it sounds like the same piece of the riddim to me, rkr also dates it to `74 but my copy has the original owners hand written date of 4.2.72 on it and i have no reason to dispute that.... its version side is a fairly raw bass and drum cut... the dub on backside of `Keep Your Dread` is what ephteeay has to look out for, but understand its a fairly subdued affair, no Tubby`s extraveganza !

i have the big youth cut actually.. and love the dub...(its been repressed recently with the title "dread locks dread" on sunshot 7") but was wondering if there was a version without melodica & without any vocals (unless it was ken boothe's)

thanks all for the info.. ill have to look out for the al campbell version too!.. i only have the vocal on a cheap reggae hits compilation cd .. had forgotten about that..
